I got tired of having to break character and pull the documentation
for those oddball examples out of my pocket.
I'm envious you get people interested enough to ask !
I have always done my own patters, more recently one can use Arnold and
similar, but those too are limited and often seem to be the basis of
commercial patterns anyhow. My favourites, where they exist, tend to be the
patterns in magazine of the time and from extant garments when you can get
access to them, ie not the ones everyone has done. But much of my recreation
started well before patterns (at the time) or before there were any kind of
commercial re-enactment patterns.
But to be fair and realistic, most people starting out do not have the
skills and confidence to start in that manner.
